Gbk Productions hosted a killer two-day vintage beach chic pool party before the 2009 MTV Movie Awards to honor the award nominees and presenters by pampering them with two full days of luxury. The event was held in the Hollywood Hills at a remarkable estate with breathtaking views of downtown Los Angeles. When you hear Gbk Productions, you think luxury, and for this MTV Movie party there was no detail left unturned; the Gbk beach balls in the pool were begging to be thrown, the car that drove celebrities up and down the steep driveway was a perfect touch for those who enjoy high heels, and the decorations inside the event were simple yet extremely elegant. Last week we took a journey through our red carpet experience at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards where we brought you exclusive interviews with Twilight star Michael Welch, The Hills mastermind Frankie Delgado, and Hellboy villain Luke Goss,

The guys of the red carpet really stepped it up this year and gave the ladies some stiff competition. GI Joe star Channing Tatum gave fans whip lash as he walked by, The Proposal star Ryan Reynolds flashed a smile and Twilight star Michael Welch looked dapper in a slick gray suit. Like always, the ladies of The Hills had everyone talking with their couture gowns showcasing their flawless beauty. Color was key on the red carpet this year and it was great to see so many variations on the hot summer colors. As the red carpet continues to twist and turn around Universal Studios into the Gibson Amphitheater, part three of our 2009 MTV Movie Awards Wrap Up continues. Over the past two days, we have brought you an exclusive look at the red carpet and we still have so much more to share. Part three brings interviews from two

- The MTV Movie Awards may be over, but we have so much to fill you in on. Come and get front row seats to the red carpet through our eyes all week long as we bring you some of the hottest red carpet interviews. Besides our great interviews, we also heard lots of juicy gossip to share. For example, Footloose director Kenny Ortega shot down rumors that Miley Cyrus scored the lead in his film but did say, "I adore her and she is an amazing talent." We tracked down Twilight stars, presenters, nominees, and attendees as they walked down the red carpet. We saw Vanessa Hudgens blow kisses, Sandra Bullock stop and wave, and our jaws dropped when Sacha Baron Cohen strutted by in his leopard print getup. We are inviting you on an exclusive trip down the red carpet all week long so grab your friends and let's go!

There are awards shows that mean something, and then there’s the MTV Movie Awards. The Oscars and the Globes recognize talent, while events like the Teen Choice Awards and the redundant MTV show go for stunts and heartthrobs.
This year was no exception as the predictable ceremony unfolded live yet so obviously scripted. The only mildly interesting moments were categories that somehow didn’t include Twilight or High School Musical 3. Even Sacha Baron Cohen’s bare ass swooping in on Eminem looked staged. Somehow sillier was Zac Efron’s heartfelt acceptance of the golden bucket of popcorn after a half-naked man flew into the theater, or Ashley Tisdale gushing over her “Breakthrough Female Performance” win like it meant something.
Twilight picked up five statues, including “Best Movie” (over The Dark Knight), “Best Kiss,” and “Best Fight.” Kristen Stewart won “Best Female Performance.” Robert Pattinson won “Breakthrough Male Performance” (no

Maybe I’m just out of touch with today’s youth culture, but as I look over this “winners list” from the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, I can’t help but feel like a crotchety old man who complains about the kids today with their loud music and funny ways of talking. The Twilight Saga wiped the floor with the competition, proving that vampire romance is the current king of pop culture, for better or worse.
In the interest of fairness, Screen Rant presents the complete list of winners from the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. Be wary, though: your head may explode as you read which actors and films lost to Twilight.
Here are the nominees listed by category (winners are highlighted in red). Shout-out to Slash Film for once again compiling an easy list for yours truly to copy and paste:
Best Movie
Twilight The Dark Knight High School Musical 3: Senior Year

On top of winning an Oscar, the late Heath Ledger was awarded the best villain trophy at the MTV Movie Awards for his role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight." Although, he didn't win for Best Fight. Ledger beat out another nominee from a comic book movie, Luke Goss (Prince Nuada in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"), as well as Derek Mears (Friday the 13th), Dwayne Johnson (Get Smart) and Johnathon Schaech (Prom Night). Ledger winning the award comes as no surprise for Goss, who previously revealed: "The late, great Heath Ledger! That's beyond tough competition. It's fun just to be nominated. He did a God-given performance. He will get it. He should win given his performance. I think he's got everyone in his camp. I hope he wins it."

Actor Heath Ledger, whose performance as The Joker in “The Dark Knight” already earned him a posthumous Oscar, was honored with yet another award during tonight’s MTV Movie Awards.
The actor, who passed away in January 2008, was named “Best Villain” for his portrayal of Batman’s clown-faced psychotic nemesis in a special MTV Movie Awards pre-show announcement.

This morning started off with the daily MTV News meeting, where I got to meet Sway. At the meeting, I learned that I would be interviewing Movie Awards nominee Luke Goss, who played Prince Nuada in “Hellboy II.” Before leaving for the shoot, I was whisked off to have my makeup done.
Then, we were off!
We drove out to Runyon Canyon, where we met Luke for the interview. First off were introductions. We got to know each other a little and then got down to the nitty gritty questions about his nominations. I couldn’t believe that he spent nine weeks training

Hey guys! I just had my first celebrity encounter out at Runyon Canyon, and my hug count is officially up to one. I got to interview Luke Goss, who played Prince Nuada in “Hellboy II: The Golden Army.”
He was so great and a really nice guy. We talked about what it felt like being nominated in two Movie Awards categories, Best Villain and Best Fight Scene, as well as what workout routine he had to maintain to build up for the fight scene with Ron Perlman (a.k.a. Hellboy).
He even told me a little bit about his most recent car purchase.
